the daughter of flames
why does this keep happening?
Ok, here's one thing you need to know, I fall asleep on long trips in the car so by the time Winnipeg (the only city in Manitoba) I was asleep. Hey. My dad bumped my elbow and I lifted my head to see we at a gas station. Why don't you get something to eat while I fill up? Ok. I said as I slipped my seat belt off then out the door. Hey? I looked back, don't burn the place will ya. No promises. I said then walked inside, I was like a baby deer, watching everyone and moving away when someone would come 5 feet of me. I grabbed chips and jerky, a Starbucks® Bottled Mocha Frappuccino® Coffee Drink, and coffee with sugar and milk for dad. As I walked to the cash register, a woman followed me up. I put my groceries in front of the cashier. I kept my eyes on her, slowly see transformed into woman with flames for hair, and one brass leg and the other one a donkey leg. I gasped and closed my eyes and when I opened there were flames everywhere, people screaming and running for the door. I gasped frozen in fear. I did it again! I managed to move. Grabbing my things and gunned it to the car and dad was on my tail. Good thing you didn’t make that promise. It would be better if we were together, she was terrifying. I said with tears rolling down my cheeks, my bottom lip trembling. This is why you need to learn- am….am I meant to be evil? Where did that come from? You're meant to be a hero, sweetheart. I don’t feel like a hero, seeing everyone screaming and running. He pulled into a parking lot and he said looking at me and smiled: Oh, sweetheart, you're full of innocence. He kissed my temple and held me.Trust me there’s a lot of kids like you, you’ll see. I cried into his chest myself to sleep. Don’t worry baby, you’ll understand soon. He said as I drifted off.
